It is important to make a the difference between 17^th century and 18^th century notes.

The notes dating back to the 17^th century have a medieval and Aristotelian content. Physica, Metaphysica and Logica are most often represented. In the 18^th century these disciplines were still taught, but the content of the courses had radically changed under the influence of the evolutions in scientific knowledge. A class on physics did not longer study the ‘libri de anima’, but taught kinematics, hydrostatics and electricity.
